The stability of the software is widely criticized, with users reporting frequent crashes, freezes, and data corruption issues. Many have experienced significant performance drops, including blue screens and unplayable frame rates during recording.

“This software runs great on my computer; I bet it would record yours flawlessly.”
“It's been buggy for the past 2 years... not gonna change since the devs started the 'new version' and are not touching this one... it's a money sink that only works for a low percentage of people.”
“Do not waste money on this, it is buggy, it will destroy your game's data, and frequently crashes any game you attempt to apply it to.”
“It constantly freezes/crashes, causes blue screens (yes, it's actually the software, I don't know why it does it, but it's the only thing that causes my PC to bluescreen), or records very shoddily.”

Overall, users report that the software offers good optimization with minimal impact on game performance during recording, maintaining consistent frame rates for most games. However, some have experienced random malfunctions leading to stuttering in recorded footage, particularly after several minutes of use, which detracts from the overall experience. Additionally, users suggest experimenting with codecs and bitrates for optimal results and express a desire for better support for a wider range of games.
“There isn't a frame drop and you won't notice a reduced performance when playing while capturing.”
“It has absolutely no impact on the performance of games and the quality of the footage is outstanding.”
“Overall, I am quite satisfied with the performance and overall quality of the videos that come from this software.”
“Additionally, when attempting to record a narrated playthrough of FTL, the software is randomly malfunctioning 8-10 minutes in, turning the video portion of the recording into a stuttering mess.”
“Audio recording is fine, however, and performance impact seems to be minimal on my main system, but until the random recording malfunctions are fixed, I cannot recommend this software.”
“Others have complained about stuttering or issues with their FPS.”

The gameplay experience is marred by significant bugs and crashes, making it frustrating for users trying to record their sessions. While some users find success with Litecam Game for capturing gameplay at high frame rates, many report that it severely impacts in-game performance and recommend alternatives like OBS for a more reliable experience. Overall, the software may work for some, but the issues present make it a risky choice for serious gamers.
“Litecam Game: 100 fps game capture is perfect to record gameplay.”
“Anyone who wants to record software tutorials or gameplay reviews or 'hey, watch my expressions as I play this horror game' videos will love Litecam Game.”
“In addition to the AVI compatibility issue, recording my gameplay significantly lowers the in-game frames to the point of being unplayable regardless of applying the troubleshooting tips a developer provides me.”
“It's full of bugs and crashes, but once you get the hang of it, it's possible to record your gameplays.”
“Unless you are one of the fewer folks who have this active and successfully working for you, you should certainly ask for a refund, and hope you are not too late (14 days+ since purchase, or two hours of gameplay).”
